Hello,
Looking into the history, it suggests me that your baby has viral cough and cold in this because of the mucus your child is not able to sleep properly so I would suggest you keep your child slightly reclined, you can use a wedge pillow for the same specialty during sleep. It will help him to easily swallow his mucus and get a night of proper sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
